A day at Hogwarts

While the students at Hogwarts were in a meeting, someone knocked on the door.

Olivia stood up and motioned for Charles to go with her.

The door opened, and the two visitors were wearing kimonos with mainly red patterns and a peach-red haori on the outside. They were clearly students of the Japanese Institute of Magic.

The team from the Magic Institute arrived later than Charles and the others. As soon as they settled down, they sent people to visit the neighbors with gifts.

Visiting Hogwarts was a pair of twin sisters who looked exactly the same. The older sister was called Akagi Zi, and the younger sister was called Akagi Nakako. They brought a huge box of snacks.

Olivia is not very familiar with the etiquette of the Japanese, and Charles and his sisters were always chirping throughout.

When parting, Akagi asked: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Charles?"

Charles replied curiously: "You know me?"

Akagi said: "Hiromitsu Yamada asked us to send a small gift to Mr. Smith, and we will visit you later when you are free."

When Charles heard this, he naturally agreed.

After Olivia and Charles returned, a group of people gathered around the table, curiously looking at the gift from the Magic Institute.

When the snack box was opened, twenty-four big blessings appeared in front of everyone.

Charles explained some Japanese customs just now, and said at this time: "This is a Japanese dessert. I don't know what it is filled with."

At this moment, Spencer suddenly said, "We can't eat it. The magic house also participated in the potion competition. What if they put poison in it?"

Everyone was startled, and thought it was true, what if the stomach hurts and diarrhea during the game?

Simo asked: "There are still so many days before the competition, if the drug is poisoned, it won't take effect until then?"

Spencer sneered at him, and said, "If you want to try, I can poison you now, and wait until the final exam of Potions term."

Charles also nodded and said, "What's more frightening is that they use compound poisons."

Spencer looked at him in surprise: "You know compound poisons? That's something you can only see in the restricted area!"

Everyone's eyes on Charles changed.

Charles immediately explained: "I saw it when I was helping Professor Quirrell sort out the materials."

Simo asked him curiously: "What is compound poison?"

Charles glanced at Spencer, and said after he nodded: "Composite poison is a very complicated type of poison. It is composed of several ingredients. It will be fine to eat only a few of them, but once you eat enough, the toxicity will be reduced." It will happen immediately."

Spencer added: "It doesn't have to be eaten, some ingredients even smell when certain potions are cooked."

It was the first time for Seamo to hear such miraculous knowledge, and he didn't dare to look at those big blessings immediately.

Olivia said to everyone: "Be careful, everyone, don't eat things that others give in private. I heard that many people were poisoned during the Kodos Torrez competition a year ago."

"Oh, not that time." Spencer shook his head and said, "I asked, it was just everyone drinking too much."

"In addition to not eating indiscriminately, you must also refuse the invitation of Kodos Torrez's students to drink."

Having said that, everyone looked at Charles, the only one who knew the girl over there.

Charles just scratched his head with a smile.

Not long after, it was lunch time. There was a canteen in this community. Olivia announced that she would be free to move around from now on, and those who wanted to eat could go by themselves.

Charles wanted to find Valentina, so he slipped away.

Just as Fleur came out of Beauxbaton's residence, Charles immediately went over to say hello with a smile on his face, and Fleur stood there quietly looking at him.

At this time, two boys came out of the building and whispered to each other after seeing them.

"Hey, another idiot attracted to Delacour."

"If he can invite Delacour to lunch, I will give him 10 gold coins!"

Charles and Furong heard their conversation, and Furong's face changed slightly, but soon returned to the expressionless state just now.

Charles walked over and asked Fleur in a strange way: "How about we divide the 10 gold coins equally?"

After he finished speaking, he realized how unreliable what he just said was.

Before Charles apologized, Fleur replied, "Okay."

The canteen prepared by Ouagadou adopts the buffet style, and the long tables are filled with red sausage, sushi, roasted pig’s trotters, white-cut chicken, confit duck legs and countless other delicacies from all over the world.

Furong came back with a lamb saddle steak, a bowl of Bouillabaisse and some snacks, and found a strange existence on the plate in front of Charles.

After she sat down, she couldn't help asking: "What are you eating?"

Charles replied: "Grilled crocodile tail, a local dish. I like to travel very much. Every time I go to a new place, I have to taste the local traditional food. Food contains the development of a place's culture and history, and you can appreciate the local customs. .”

"For example, the oil-sealed duck leg in France has a history of about 400 years. At that time, it was difficult to preserve meat for a long time. Someone found that meat that could be sealed with solidified animal fat could be stored for a long time, so this type of dish It just appeared."

"Tasting a duck leg confit, you can experience not only the duck leg itself and the chef's cooking skills, but also the wisdom of the predecessors."

A surprised expression appeared on Furong's delicate face. After eating duck confit in oil for so many years, she didn't expect that there was such a thing behind this cooking method.

Charles gestured to the soup in front of Furong and continued: "There is also Marseille bouillabaisse, which has a history of about 2,500 years. At first, it was just fishermen on the seaside cooking unsalable fish from the sea. Eat it, and over time, people have found all sorts of delicious recipes."

"From the time when the Marseille area was inhabited 2,500 years ago until more than 100 years ago, Maasai fish soup was still the food of ordinary fishermen. Over the past 100 years, with the economic development of the Marseille area, Maasai fish soup has also begun to change from Out of fishermen’s homes, it came to thousands of households, entered high-end restaurants, and entered the field of vision of more people. During this process, its cooking methods and recipes have also been further developed, and the pace of development has not stopped. "

"It's in a soup bowl, but it's thousands of years old."

After hearing this, Fu Rong glanced at the Bouillabaisse in front of her, feeling that it was glowing with colorful lights.

Charles smiled and continued to taste the grilled crocodile tail in front of him.

The crocodile's tail is often active, and the meat on it tastes very elastic, not greasy, and tastes a bit like chicken. Charles thinks it's pretty good and eats it very happily.

It's just that he stopped talking after eating lunch, so a boy from Beauxbatons sitting behind him came over and asked him, "Sir, can you say 5 gold coins again..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, he was dragged away by another girl, who kept saying that he didn't wink.

Charles turned his head to look, and unexpectedly, he saw Seamus, Eleanor and a dozen other people watching him from a distance on a table in the distance.

Too lazy to care about those guys, Charles turned around and asked Fleur: "How is Gabriel recently? I heard your mother say that she is not in good health."

Fu Rong admired his erudition just now, but when she mentioned her sister, her face turned cold and she asked in a low voice, "Do you have any plans for her?"

Charles replied innocently: "I don't have any plans. If I have any plans, can Mrs. Angelina let me go that day?"

Fu Rong thought about it too. If this guy had bad intentions, he would definitely be disposed of by his grandma that day.

Her complexion improved a lot, but she still said angrily: "Gabriel knew you were coming here too, so she asked me to deliver a letter to you, so you don't have to worry about the owl."

Charles thought to himself, if you don't work hard on the owl, you will work hard on your sister, right?

He noticed that Fleur was very vigilant about Gabriel's topic, so he changed the subject and asked about Mrs. Angelina's recent situation.

There is no minefield for this topic, Fu Rong said a few words briefly.

After lunch, Charles followed Fleur back to the building where Beauxbaton lived, and Fleur went back to take out Gabriel's letter from the luggage.

At this time, someone came over and said, "Charles, and this classmate, do you want to go shopping together?"
